DUMP CAR.

APPLICATION FILED AUG.24, 1911 Patented June 20, 1916 7 S I g. w w o W{a W gr." 1 H I ody. The body "is held against transverse movement bymeans of the pivots engaging the stops 12 on the one hand and theinclined flanges 10 on the other. In this way the body is held by reasonof its weight against endwise and transverse movements. When the caristo be tilted or dumped suitable hoisting mechanism is connected to thehooks 13 on the side opposite to which the car is to be dumped and thebody is tilted, the body turning upon the pivots which engage in theangle of the pivot members on the side of the car corresponding to theone upon which.

the car is to be dumped. When the car reaches complete dumping positionthe flanges 22 engage the flanges 10 and prevent the body from beingtilted beyond the proper point, this point being one which is not thecenter of gravity of the car body so that upon the release of thehoisting mechanism the car body will have aetendency to assume normalposition upon the frame or bed of its own weight.

Having described our invention, we claim 1. In a dump car, a bed,supporting wheels therefor, a pair of pivot members at each edge of thebed one near each end of the bed, flanges carried by said pivot members,a body resting upon the bed and provided with pivots projecting from thebodyva-nd engage ing the pivot members and ada ted to engage the flangesand prevent en wise movement of the body.

2. In a dump car, abed, supporting wheels therefor, a pair of pivotmembers on each side of the car and comprising a base portion, anupwardly and outwardly extending flange, and an edge flange, and a carbody having pivots secured to the ends thereof and extending beyond thebottom of the car and engaging over the edge flange.

3. In a dump car, a. frame, suitable supporting wheels therefor, pivotengaging members carried by the frame near the sides thereof and formingpivot sockets, a car body having a substantially flat bottom ran withinpoints which are inside of the pivot members and. upwardly and outwardlyinclined sides extending over the pivot members, and pivots projectingfrom the inclined sides and adapted to go in the sockets formed by thepivot mem rs when dumping the car body.

- 4. In a dump car, a frame, suitable supporti wheels therefor, a pivotmember arnear each side of the from forming a pivot socket, a car bodyhaving e flat bottom engaging the frame and arranged within tbd pivotmembers inclined side extending upwardly and outwardl above the pivotmembers, and downwa y and outwardly extending pivots extending from thebody for engaging said socketauponthe dumping of the body. I

5. In a dump car,'a frame, suitable supporting wheels therefor,ivotmembers secured upon said frame, an having upwardly and outwardlyextending ortions, a car body having a flat bottom within ointscorresponding to the sides of the rame, and upwardly and outwardly jextending sides forming a continuation ofthe bottom, and pivots securedto the end of the ear and extending diagonally therefrom and engaging 4the pivot members within the upwardly and outwardly extending portions.

6. In a dump, car, a, frame, and supporting wheels on-the' ou'tside ofsaid frame, a pair of pivot members at each side of the car and eachhavin an upwardly inclined ortion extending yond the car with a ange onone edge of said portion, a car body having a flat bottom of less widththan the frame, and diagonally disposed pivots ex-,

tending from the ends of the car beyond the flat portion of the bottomand each engaging in the angles of the corresponding ivot I member, eachof said pivots having a ange for engaging the extension of the pivotmemer. e
